ZOOM - REMINDER
You can access the ZOOM classroom one of three ways.
- Click on ZOOM, then select join meeting. It will prompt you for the meeting ID (this comes from the teacher). Students can change the name displayed from numbers to reflect their full name. Then it may ask for a password. (this comes from the teacher)
- The teacher shared a link via email. From a window browser, you can type all characters shared from the link and press enter. This should take you directly to the ZOOM classroom.
- The teacher can share the link from their SeeSaw or Google Classroom accounts. Then simply click on the link.
Once you've signed in, that information is stored on the iPad/Chromebook for future use. Simply click the downward carrot next to the Meeting ID area and it will display the classroom link.
